A NOTE FROM BETTY When I think about the months in our year January is the one that gets the most negative thoughts. The days of that first new month give rise to very varied thoughts. The brand new year ahead, the letdown after the sharing of Christmas, the surprises of weather are all a part of the January thought process. By times, those thoughts can be darn right unsettling. So, when we get a beautiful sunny day with no snow or wind and none in the forecast, the only thing to do is get out of town and celeebrate the good weather. Everyone else had the same idea by the number of cars out and about. A call to my brother Bill on Sunday resulted in the expected invitation to visit Hamilton with the bonus that all their three daughters and families would be around. Those visits are the ones that get the stories going and the hints of heredity show forth with great clarity. One wee girl holds her head just as my mother did, another has eyes that are a Hetherington andanother has a walk that has been observed for years. Scenic drives on roads not travelled for years provoked more good memories of going to visit Grandma and Grandpa Jenkins when they lived in Galt. Our Canada is getting ready for a shift of position. No matter who wins the election this week, the way things have been done will change. Now we just have to watch and wait and hope that the change will be more just and fair, less wasteful and more efficient and effective in the way the government uses our money. Yes I can dream. Make your way to the Mennonite Church on Friday at 4:30 p.m. to be part of •the Ministerial offering to celebrate the churches in our community. Fun and food will be part of this clown ministry planned for your enjoyment. Join the fun and you'll not even wreck your bedtime. I found some pretty interesting things in the front closet when I cleared the shelves. This is a yearly event, probably the only resolution I do. The hard part is reading all the things I've saved and then deciding where they need filed, moved, glued or saints preserved — burned. But the job is done and, the dining room table is cleared so that means mission accomplished — until next year. Yippee! Enjoy the last few days of this pretty fine month. Bye now, Betty G.W.
